DodgyRog Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I am after some cheap as chips Headlights, outter condition is totally irrelavent, I just need the insides to be in perfect condition, especially the Chrome on the Rings..............everything else can be knackered What have you got and how much do you want (be kind I am trying to fund the Dragonball at the moment) I plan on trying to make some different insert out of my old ones, something along the lines of the ABFlug inserts, but would like to have some decents ones before experimenting on my peeled ones. so I can take my time, as I never do anything in a hurry Post on here if you have something Cheers Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iky Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I think i have just one prefacelift insert only with good chrome. Sorry but I can't remember what side it was and It'll probably be the weekend before I can check though. You can have it for postage costs Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iky Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hi mate, Ive just had a look at mine and have some photos. I only have the driver side one but there is two little scratch marks on the ring. It's a bugger to capture on the photos though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Any good to you? Facelift headlamp with J spec lens. http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u17/suprraaaaaa/20120130_200534.jpg Not sure to be honest, as I am putting the Insert into Glass headlights, if it cheap, I guess it's worth a gamble How much you after posted Martin?

DodgyRog Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Actually Martin, I don't think that will work, as it has the extra ring on the high beam, so I would end up with odd lights Thanks though and if someone comes forward with the other side, I will give you a shout back Can you give me a price anyway, as I miht be tempted to buy it just in case the otherside appears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy52 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I've got a set of pre-facelift inserts knocking about but they are not perfect. Driver and passenger inserts already out but both have yellowing under the fog light ring and a couple of random patches. Any good to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 When you say yellowing under the rings, are the rings still okay Can you have a good look for me please, as I would like a set I can save the rings on and how much will you be after posted please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy52 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 If you zoom in on the fog light area you'll see that nasty yellow. It is on the underside of the chrome ring and also a patch on the insert itself unfortunatly. It looks like a water stain the way the yellow is contoured, but it is the departed chrome layer rather than dirt.. Structurely the passenger one is fine, the driver side has a slight dremel wheel mark where I had to cut through a pipe which was my old headlight intake. Other than that both are useable/refurbishable. I was going to bin them. Yours at postage cost for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know how much the postage is going to be and I can PayPal it over to you, I am intending to have a play with a set, to try and mimick the ABFlug inserts anyway, so if these are past it, I can use them for that I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy52 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I am posting my facelift inserts tomorrow to get the chrome re-done so will have a postage price then. Abflug look like a different shape.

DodgyRog Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Yeah they are a totally different shape, but they are just inserts I am going to try and recreat the shape, it will proberbly turn out crap, my DIY is very limited:taped: but I just fancy giving it a try, I would certainly never pay the stupid amount they cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delboy52 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Nice one. Not seen those before. Do you want a passenger lens to practice scrubbing the lines out on? The drivers side one has a 5" hole where the full beam is so is pretty much scrap.. Btw, do you want them posted quickly? Reason I ask is 2 inserts fit perfectly into a 12 bottle wine box. I have just the one box unless I can find another wino from work Turnaround time for my inserts is about 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
